The second question is just slightly more complex. A trundle is a second bed stored beneath the main daybed. Their uses depend on the type of trundle available. The two standard types of trundles are the drawer-type and the pop-up trundle. As its name suggest, the drawer-type trundle is like the drawer in any piece of furniture. It pulls out and holds a second twin-size mattress. While convenient, it has but one use and is specific to the model of the daybed.

Certain types of beds like daybeds are ideal for furnishing rooms that are small or will have a dual purpose such as a home office/guest bedroom. Daybeds, with their distinctive daybed bedding and daybed mattresses, also make great additions to children's rooms, home offices, indoor porches, sunrooms and family rooms. Because daybeds do not convert into a sofa, but can be used as one, a daybed can be the perfect solution for increasing the sleeping capacity in homes where space is a luxury.
